SInet held "Ageing Population Research @ UoW Seminar" on Mon, 12th Dec 2011, 5pm. Click here for more information.

SInet is working to connect researchers across campus who relate to the theme of Ageing , particularly following the release of the Productivity Commission's report on "Caring for Older Australians". A first meeting to kick start this endeavour was held on October 5 and brought together members of various Nodes of SInet, as well as people from IHMRI, CHI and AHSRI. There is a great range of activities underway at UoW related to ageing and we see value in aligning these activities for economic and social wellbeing. Watch this space!
